Apples to bake with:
- Granny Smith: Known for their tartness and firmness, Granny Smith apples hold their shape well in baking, making them a popular choice for pies and crisps.
- Honeycrisp: Sweet, juicy, and firm, Honeycrisp apples provide a nice balance of sweetness and tartness, adding great flavor and texture to baked goods.
- Braeburn: With a complex flavor profile that’s both sweet and tart, Braeburn apples hold up well in the oven, making them ideal for pies and tarts.
- Jonagold: A cross between Jonathan and Golden Delicious apples, Jonagold apples are sweet with a hint of tartness and maintain their shape well during baking.
- Pink Lady (Cripps Pink): These apples are firm, slightly tart, and sweet, making them excellent for baking, especially in recipes where you want the apple slices to hold their shape.
